| ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) |
| ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 2 | x | − | 1 | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 2 | x | − | 1 | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | 3 | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | 4 |
| 2 | x | − | 1 | = | 9 5 | x | + | 12 5 |
| 2 | x | − | 9 5 | x | = | 12 5 | + | 1 |
1 5 | x | = | 12 5 | + | 1 |
1 5 | x | = | 17 5 |
| x | = | 17 5 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 17 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 17 |
